A former department store cashier was arrested after he used a scanning device to obtain a customer's credit card information that he later used to buy more than $1,000 worth of items, according to a Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office arrest report.

Fernandino Belizaire, 18, of Lauderdale Lakes, was arrested Wednesday on charges of identity theft and using a scanning device to defraud.

The victim contacted deputies in November after she discovered someone had used her Discover card to purchase more than $1,000 worth of items at GameStop and Footaction USA. She told them she was shopping at Deal$ in Boca Raton when she noticed the cashier "swipe her card on a small gray scanning device" attached to the back of the credit card reader.

Deputies said they reviewed surveillance video from the store and saw Belizaire swipe the woman's credit card twice, once in an unknown device.
